Thanks for your 2 replies CJK136

I had previously been unable to find Thomas 1846 & Eliza Meek, but have now found them in Ancestry at Worksop in 1871.

One of my worries had been the children, as whilst I had baptism details for the children I have attributed to (my) Thomas Yemm & Eliza Meek, I needed to establish that they were not the offspring of the (other) Thomas Yemm & Eliza Griffin. I had hoped the census data would establish this.

Using as an example Oliver Yemm :

Year: 1869
Month: Jan
Day: 31
Parents_Surname:YEMM
Child_Forenames:Oliver
Fathers_Forenames: Thomas
Mothers_Forenames:Eliza
Mothers_Surname:
Residence: Gibraltar
Occupation: Collier
Officiating_Minister:
S[amuel] Edwards
Event:Baptism
Memoranda:
Notes:Gibraltar is the name of a Colliery
Register_Reference:
Parish_Chapel: Viney Hill

He is not shown on the 1871 Census you posted, neither is he on the 1871 Census for Thomas Yemm & Eliza Griffin, the children for them are Sydney 8 & Thomas 2.

If you search for Oliver Yemm, you find the Oliver that I know to be the son of William Yemm & Lydia. I have full details for this family as Lydia is nee Marfell 1826/1906 my 1st cousin 4 times removed. Their Oliver was baptised 7 May 1866 Methodist Ch. Ruardean, he died 1919.

I cannot find a death for Oliver Yemm between 1867 & 1872 on Ancestry or Free BMD.
